The supermarket was bought for a symbolic euro. For three months, its manager has no longer paid salaries to her employees.
The Leader Price of Montmirail in Marne has been abandoned since its acquisition.
Not only have the five employees not been paid for three months, but neither have the suppliers. The shelves are gradually emptying and broken fridges are not repaired.
The situation is only getting worse because employees who are no longer paid naturally no longer do anything.
“She came in March. We thought she was fine. But at the end of July, no more deliveries. And we could see that our pay slips were arriving later and later,” a store employee testified on BFMTV.
Unpaid employees on sick leave
Since October these pay slips have not arrived at all. The employees then all went on sick leave and the supermarket was closed.
The employees alerted the CGT, which discovered that the owner owned five other supermarkets in which the situation was the same.
Justice seized
A hearing before the Paris Commercial Court is scheduled for January 16 for that of Montmirail.
A court decision would allow for a termination of contracts, which at the moment is not possible, so that employees can receive unemployment.
They then planned to seize the Industrial Tribunal.
